I've seen a lot worseI understand, but that is unacceptable behavior
Yes, everyone is human, it is normal to panic, that is why in the UK we have 24 hours to report the incident to the police before it becomes a hit and run that can be prosecuted. If you you do report an incident like that within 24 hours then the police will do nothing other than to exchange insurance details between those involved.some people panic when they have an accident and behave irrationally, particularly if they're a new driver, or it's a first time accident
yeah if it were here although the driver took off if you didn't follow you'd be within your rights to report them and the driver would get a handful of tickets for their trouble, most people wouldn't do that though unless they also panicked (that happens as well) and would give chase, mostly because the driver that runs often has something to hide, eg no insurance, no license etc, a panicked driver is the less common type of drive off after an accidentYes, everyone is human, it is normal to panic, that is why in the UK we have 24 hours to report the incident to the police before it becomes a hit and run that can be prosecuted.
